Trying to keep the rays off
trying to keep the scum off
trying to keep the growth off
relearn everything they taught
waiting for the cars to rot
recycle the junk I bought
remember who they fought
be careful now don’t get caught
Now the top hats are in town
trying to buy a piece of your soul
selling dreams worth fool’s gold
be careful don’t get sold
work for dimes until you’re old
sell your time it’s what you’ve been told
your mind is already mold
there’s no way I’m gonna go
there’s no way I’m growing old like this

The last time they talked,
when they went for a walk,
and they didn’t know the cure
for being so unsure
because when the paper’s out
and they want to shout
‘are we really so clever
to think that it could be better
it could be better…’
And all this time they compromise
and never tell lies
or ever stray from the lines
after trying so hard to be kind
It’s a strange game of hearts
they play for their towns,
it’s a curious kind of dart
they throw when they’re down
when they’re down…

Broken Down Phones

Broken down phones
frames stagger
middle age minds
who don’t give you the time
the air is stale
let’s go get married
nothing to prove
watching old movies
there is no fate wanting to hate
Unfortunate cookie
and unofficial lies
international bidders
with their fingers on the trigger
lows in science
homes for sale
evil invading
all across the plain
there is no fate wanting to hate
imaginary cures
because nothing is yours
nobody buys cable
the carpets are stain
adolescent trophies
lows in science
brainwashing boys
to like their old toys
there is no fate wanting to hate

Come On Grace

Notch me down, turn the station
for something to do with you and your number
Is somewhere here in a backpack with a note
in case you want to know
If I call you up in the afternoon blue
will you change your mind
overlook the times and the nights we spent laughing
will it stay unfinished
So come on grace
don’t have to be afraid
I’ll try and be brave
put on a brand new face
say I like the state
when we’re in the down turn
Lock me down, take me away
for something to do with you and your number
is somewhere here in a backpack with a note
in case you want to know
So come on grace
don’t have to be afraid
I’ll try and be brave
put on a brand new face
say I like the state
when we’re in the down turn

She Took You Away

|

She took you away
from your darkest days
and brought you into the light of her night
but I was too dumb to stay
didn’t want to play the hero game
and there was far too much left to say
